    Very on-brand for the Rockets to max a career 40% shooting undersized player.

    Should have just traded those magic bean Brooklyn picks for Tyus Mother F'ing Jones.
    This is superstar money.
    He better provide the Marcus Smart type defense on the other end. Marcus Smart never got called out by his coach for being lackadaisical in transitional defense.

    That’s a massive overpay. I’m sure he leveraged the Toronto deal to force the Rockets to add that 3rd year. I don’t like this. That 3rd year better have a team option.

    Could be an overpay but considering the amount of money they got and it's only 3 years by the time they got to start extending some of the other guys it's not a big deal. Coach is going to be real happy with him he's going to bring this team along a lot better than Harden would have.

    The FO is so delusional. This team needs an owner and a competent GM desperately. How they landed Ime is beyond me.
